1999 Pontiac Montana review from North America
"Extended Warranty is recommended"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake Manifold Gasket replaced at 80,000 km. We went through Arbitration to get GM to repair. Two weeks later the coolant light is back on.
Inside handle on back hatch broke.
Water leaks into back hatch.
We have always had difficulty starting the vehicle.
Stereo volume control inconsistent.
There is a strange vibrating noise when travelling on the highway. We have been unable to diagnose.
General comments?
We highly recommend keeping this vehicle under warranty.
Disappointed that every issue requires serious nagging at service department to have a repair made. Some of our problems have been minor, but are a real frustration to have fixed due to lack of General Motors service and responsibility.
